The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini is a smaller, lower-spec'd version of Sammy's new flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S5. It will keep some of the features seen on the full-sized model such as the IP67 certification that makes the device dust and waterproof. In addition, the "mini" will have a fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button, and a heart rate monitor on the back of the device...

This mini version thing annoys me.. Whats the point if its gona be almost the same size as the regular version?? & if it has infirior specs, how it is a version of it?? ...its all a marketing spin and i find it insulting!!

It's display more than half an inch smaller than the Galaxy S5's, that justifies it being a mini. And being mini comes at a cost with lower specs (unless you're Motorola). Sony's Xperia Z1 compact is not under mini branding, it's specifically a compact version of the Xperia Z1; the terminology is different, so it's a different type of product.

It's kind of hard to tell the difference of the two phones. Go to picture #2, and zoom in the picture focusing on the Galaxy S5. Zoom it in to where it just barely fits in the frame, then pan over to the Galaxy S5 mini. Then you can get a better idea of how much smaller it is in terms of height, which is significant. It's hard to get a sense of how much narrower it is because it's at an angle.

Yea, I don't think anyone but Sony has fully grasped the mini concept. The S1 compact is the only thing that should be considered in this category of mini super phones. They even had the size perfectly cut down to 4.3 inches screen wise and SD 800 proc. Everything else is just marketing BS riding on the coattails of the high end phone. Seriously though since these products are usually developed well in advance, I think the next generation of mini phones for HTC/Samsung/etc. will have some inspiration from Sony's model.

I think the rumor about the SoC was wrong. No way they would release an SoC under the Exynos 3 line. It was the third generation of Samsung SoCs, why would they release a device in their flagship line under a processor line that's 2 generation behind? It'll probably be an Exynos 5 Quad; dual core A15 and dual core A7 paired with a Mali-T624 or Mali-450 GPU. That's just my guess.

They have been using this model for running their phone industry for the past 4 years and I am pretty sure if they were losing money or not selling well they would've stopped by now. You should keep your advices for the OEM's who are struggling with their sales and are on the verge of bankruptcy.

No it's not, back in my home country people live on such choices, $10 in price difference would be a deal breaker for them, and trust me Samsung is hitting the jackpot with those different models. They basically took Nokia's model when symbian was the king of OSs and surely that's bringing them success in return.
